So after work last night my boss called me in for a meeting regarding my proposed promotion. All of this happened because he was planning on firing the person above me. He made that decision on Thursday after he spoke with his business parter (my other boss). He sat me down and offered me the position. I was so excited and I thought all my prayers were answered regarding our money problems.
Well last night I thought it was all going to happen and that he had spoken with his partner and was going to throw out a salary figure for us to negotiate. Well that is not what happened at all. He told me he and his partner have changed their minds and they are not going to fire the girl above me. So in essence he (they) offered me a promotion and now they are taking it back. I seriously can't believe this even happened and I have never dealt with such unprofessionalism in all my life. I am heart broken and I feel very betrayed. So FH started to look for new jobs for me last night and I will be starting the application process tonight when I get home from work. I am so upset, I can't believe they would get my hopes up like that and then renege. Any words of encouragement would be greatly appreciated...sorry this was so long.

Good Luck Do not worry you find a job in 2 weeks watch. But what they did is so unprofessional what comes around goes around.

i totally know how you feel. I work in a small office and i have been promised a raise for the past 4 months and i still haven't seen it. I hope everything works out for you and maybe a new job is the best way to go. Good luck!
I feel your pain sweetie. That was a crappy thing for them to do. What field are you in?

I am a paralegal, but I am really looking to get out of the legal field. I was a communications/interpersonal relations/psych major in college. So I am trying to apply for HR/PR positions. I know it will be hard since I have no working experience in those fields. But my education paired with my legal experience and dealing with clients and high stress matters on a daily basis, make me a good candidate. I just have to pray that someone takes a chance on me!
I am so upset that this happened.

I worked as a paralegal for a long time too. i was with an old boss for a long time because he showed me everything i knew and was like a father to me. even tho i knew i wasnt going anywhere in the company i stayed. years later i realized i was only hurting myself and i left. it was the best decision i ever made. good luck and i really hope you find something better.

I am so sorry! That was extremely unprofessional. They shouldn't have said anything at all if they hadn't officially started taking the steps to make it happen. You are better off somewhere else with people who appreciate you. Good luck on the job hunt!

Oh man, I am sorry to hear this. I think it's a good idea that you are seeking a job elsewhere. I can't believe how some people are and how unprofessional some managers can be.
